A good revision. Last couple of notes:
1-- I think the light goes just a little too far around the bearded chin, and around the flesh (double-chin, for want of a better description) under that beard. A slight darkening of the leftward (is that a word?) portions pulls the chin back over a bit.
2-- I would go back into the cheekbone area on the shadow side and warm it up just a bit. I think the decrease in value helped define the form, but the overall effect got a little too cool.
3-- You might want to shave off just a slight crescent from the top right side of the head, just right of the top center of the skull. Just a tad, to nudge that center a bit more to our left. Right now, too, there's a bit of highlight on that edge (right at the top center of the skull). I'd tone that down, so that the plane of the skull turns away from the light and the contrast between the skin and the background is reduced, contributing to the recession of that form.
Excellent attention and effort. Congratulations.
